Blog war ahoy! Bloggers Vs. IIPM
some insane stuff going on with IIPM, a b-school spread across a number of cities in India....its getting quite ballistic, but more interestingly is causing the release of a lot of skeletons in IIPM's cupboard ....read some of this crazy shit here and here and if you want a good laugh read this hilarious 'we love iipm' blog here.. . Oh and lets not forgt the Legal notices!
The most interesting tid bits have been provided by proactive (and I must say aggressive) Indian bloggers in unearthing a lot of the falsities of this institution. Check out some kickass investigatory journalism here. Protests, media updates, bloggers uniting against IIPM in Bangalore- catch it all here

Check out ..
It's crazy the stuff that is going on around the web, and in the media. My guess, IIPM's going to get into some deep shit, worst case shut down because,
* The bad PR will (very very) slowly hit the million mega rich mega numb nuts who probably think its a cool place to get a degree/meet arindam chowchow (wtf is philip kotler anyway?)/learn billiards and surf the net on their wi-fi enabled sony psps (numbnuts do not use laptops, and even if they do they wont figure out how to connect to a wireless network)
* They seriously wont be able to take the hit if one of these overpassionate blogger/journalist know his way with the law. I wont be surprised if their ad claims and misused references, is somewhere somehow a punishable offence. And if they actually issued a legal notice, they're royally J'd.
* Arindam Chowchow will kill himself cos of the number of takes on the title of his book(let). Some of the funniest ones I've read "Count your Chickens before they crack", "Count your universities before they're founded" and now my contribution "Count your balls before you scratch" After all, if he kills himself, the other able employees (janitors, wi-fi technicians, PR specialists, Mrs. Chowchow) will not be able to carry the flame of this esteemed institute forward.
But on a serious note, this is really power to the Media. To its users, the bloggers, journalists etc, who've been rallying opinion and mobilising support through its medium, and to it's misusers (the name that shall not be said loud, ok for IIPM students who will not understand, the misuser is IIPM)
Cheers bro, really thought ur post on Indian abroad made sense.
Dhanur.

dhanur, the damn has certainly given way:)....sooner or later stupidity and a lack of basic intelligence is going to come and get you...i think thats whats happened with IIPM....maybe they will learn a lesson and get a check up from the neck up and earn some credits with real university degrees for its students.
saw the photo essay btw...was funny..but funnier is the legal notices being issued by IIPM employees:)....
on more interesting news, how is Singapore? are you planning a trip down to the Insead campus? ive heard its a killer.
